Think you know what do as a motorist, pedestrian or transit rider on the new bus rapid transit corridor in San Bernardino and Loma Linda? Take the safety challenge – you might win a free lunch.

Omnitrans will launch passenger service of the sbX Green Line in late April, and there are many exciting new changes along the corridor. Are you ready? Here’s a chance to test your sbX safety savvy and be rewarded with a $25 gift certificate to one of the many fine eateries along the route! Omnitrans wants to test your knowledge of sbX safety on the Green Line and will conduct weekly drawings on Fridays through April 4th. Who’s eligible? Residents of San Bernardino County who correctly answer the safety trivia questions appearing on its project Facebook page.

One question will be asked each week on the project Facebook page related to the corridor safety of pedestrians, motorists and/or transit riders. The questions will vary in nature, from true/false, multiple choice or simply filling in the blank. The goal is to make sure people who use the sbX route become familiar with the new changes and make proper decisions on the road.

On four consecutive Fridays (March 14, 21, 28 and April 4) the name of a lucky contestant will be drawn for a $25 gift certificate to one of a variety of eateries on the sbX corridor. Winners will be notified by e-mail. One entry per person per contest. Contestants may enter each contest until selected a winner.

During the month of February, Omnitrans sbX is giving away $25 gift cards on Fridays to its Facebook fans from local restaurants along Hospitality Lane, including IHOP, Lotus Garden Restaurant Chinese Cuisine and Bagels & Stuff.

One lucky winner is selected each week from an updated database of Facebook followers who enter the contest. Participants must be at least 18 years old. One entry will qualify you for each of the remaining drawings. Winners are notified by e-mail.

Congratulation to Gabriel Arellano, winner of a 31-Day Bus Pass in our Dump the Pump photo contest this week. The 21-year-old works for the City of Montclair as a recreation leader, where he sets up for parties and community events. Most of his income goes to help his family, and he relies on public transit for all his travel.

“This will really help us a lot,” said Gabriel. “I’ve been using Omnitrans since 2008 when I graduated high school. I like riding the bus. I love meeting new people, and it gives me a chance to travel to different cities and explore places I normally wouldn’t get to see.”

In his free time, Gabriel enjoys drawing abstract art. His dream is to one day open an art gallery and clothing store.
